Eng. Evarist Welle Nd ikilo REGIONAL COMMISSIONER, COAST REGION Its my pleasure to present this booklet on the region’s social, economic, physical and investment opportunities, with the intention of giving an overview to potential investors to understand the opportunities available in this great region located near three sea ports connecting Tanzania and the rest of the world. The report concisely provides information on the available economic opportunities, natural resources, its people and institutions, which any willing investor will find attractive to chose Pwani or Coast Region as an investment destination. Coast region is located in the Eastern part of Tanzania Mainland with an area of 33,539 sq km, and comprises of six administrative districts with seven Local Government Authorities. According to the latest National Census, the region in 2012 had a population of 1,098,668 inhabitants, who comprised of 537,826 males and 560,842 females, having registered a growth rate of 2.2 percent per year over the previous ten years. The region has a typical coastal climate with a mean temperature of 300C. The rainfall pattern ranges from 800mm to 1000mm per annum. There are two seasons, the short rainy season between the months of October to December and the long rain season between March and June. The Region has attractive environment for investment due to its good infrastructures in road network with total length 1,924.9 km of which 501.5 km are trunk roads connecting the Region with other regions, two railway transport systems, which traverse the region: the Central Railway Line from Dar es Salaam to Kigoma, Mwanza, Tanga and Arusha; and the Tanzania- Zambia Railway line (TAZARA) from Dar es salaam to Morogoro, Njombe and Mbeya regions up to Zambia. Moreover the vii coast book.indd 9 10/16/14 5:23 AM Region is connected to the national electricity grid providing a reliable source of power. In this area, however, there is potential for public- private partnership (PPP) type of ventures to establish feeder transport system in the form of roads and railways linking to the Central Railway and TAZARA systems. Apart from economic infrastructure, Coast Region has many investment opportunities favourable for both domestic and foreign investors in farming and processing of agricultural, and livestock products, setting up of industries, engaging in domestic, regional and international trade, tourism, business centres, fishing and fish processing, infrastructure development (roads, railways, pipelines, electricity, water and ICT), mining and mineral processing and social service provision. The Region welcomes private investments as a key to promoting development. We believe that the Region is comparatively better located than most regions as an investment destination. I sincerely hope that through this document both Local and Foreign investors

This was the fifth Census after the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. Other censuses were carried out in 1967, 1978, 1988 and 2002. The 2012 PHC, like previous censuses, will contribute to the improvement of quality of life of Tanzanians through the provision of current and reliable data for policy formulation, development planning and service delivery as well as for monitoring and evaluating national and international development frameworks. The 2012 PHC is unique as the collected information will be used in monitoring and evaluating the Development Vision 2025 for Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar Development Vision 2020, Five Year Development Plan 2011/12–2015/16, National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) commonly known as MKUKUTA and Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP) commonly known as MKUZA. The Census will also provide information for the evaluation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. The Poverty Monitoring Master Plan, which is the monitoring tool for NSGRP and ZSGRP, mapped out core indicators for poverty monitoring against the sequence of surveys, with the 2012 PHC being one of them. Several of these core indicators for poverty monitoring are measured directly from the 2012 PHC.

These are programs and activities – site based or not – that have biodiversity conservation as an explicit, but not primary objective. One criterion for such programs is that their activities must be defined based on an analysis of threats to biodiversity. This report aims to assess the biodiversity threats in the land-seascapes where SUCCESS operates. The purpose is to understand the major direct threats to biodiversity as well as the context and root causes of the threats.
